[As Spanner transforms into Kamen Rider Valvarad, it suddenly clicks for him: Atropos.

She's controlling Dread again.

It's been a while since they last fought, typically its either Clotho or Lachesis he goes up against. Back when Lachesis wasn't on their side anyways.

But despite her looks Atropos is the oldest of the three, if anything she is the sister to take the most seriously in combat.

~~Not like you shouldn't take the other two seriously... but that's not the point.~~

He takes note of the chemies as he launches himself at Atropos, ready to strike.]

[And if Lachesis were on the scene... okay, it's Atropos, she wouldn't have as many hard feelings about putting up a fight against the Sister closest to their father. Betrayal does sting hard.

There's no particular pattern to the Replichemies she uses, though he'd better take note when she pulls out the one for DeepMariner.

Behind them, the various crowding Chemies start trying to coordinate, to take down the barrier and intervene.

With a flash of a red ring, however, Spanner may also be surprised to see Minato.]

[He continues to rush at Atropos, after he lands a hit he jumps back.

Spanner keeps his eye out on DeepMariner, remembering his battle with the original one months ago. Atropos definitely has some sort of plan brewing, so he's on high alert.

As a familiar flash of red begins to shine, he would know that from anywhere.]

Senpai!

[He can't see Atropos' scowl, but the hit is one she can't easily shrug off.

DeepMariner's effect, even as a repliChemy, allows her to 'swim' underground. It is a pity Geryon wanted to keep a closer eye on their captured Ancient Chemies for this fight; she's already imagining certain useful combinations...

Never mind that.

Above, Minato uses his ring to phase through Atropos' barrier... leaving the Chemies on the other side, to their collective dismay.

He's trying to convey something without speaking: I need plausible deniability, if I am to help you here.

He's supposed to be helping Geryon - but that doesn't mean he'll do just anything for his former mentor.

What he says, mind:]

You should not have come here, Spanner. Did you at least come alone?

[The fact that there's a group attack on the base is obvious, but the real question is: did Spanner let anyone follow him?]

[He picks up on what Minato says without his words but with his actions. This isn't the first time he's tried to help him in subtle ways like this after all...

It would be unwise to mention the rest of the group, especially in front of Atropos. He's sure they can guess that he actually isn't alone anyways. But it would be best to not give Atropos any early confirmation of this.]

It's just me.

[Literally, and in the sense that he ran off without anyone following him. As far as he knows to the best of his knowledge, nobody else knows where he's at.

If Minato was on their side he could already feel the talk he'd get from him about this. Especially for doing something so dangerous. But it has been difficult to not succumb to his raw emotions over Geryon having killed his parents. Spanner desperately wants to avenge them. Especially with the new power they had given him.

Despite differing sides, he trusts Minato enough to read between the lines.

He wouldn't say no to his help if he can do so safely.]

[Minato looks... relieved. Not that he has much time to add anything, because that's when Dreatropos resurfaces with RepliChemy Catchula to add to the Driver, aiming to snag one of Spanner's Chemy cards.

Minato bursts into action, using alchemy to lasso Spanner - on the one hand, Atropos can't drown him, but Spanner's still going to be fairly immobile.

Shouting comes from beyond the barrier, and under their feet the building itself rumbles.]

[You can't see it, but under the helmet Spanner is also relieved.

Spanner trusts Minato's actions, and going along with getting lassoed. His movements may be greatly restricted but it saves him from being in a much worse position.

Despite the current circumstances of their positions, Spanner is always appreciative of his senpai helping him from the other side.

Just then he hears the shouting, and then feels the rumbling of the building underneath him.]

What the hell was that?

[Atropos, thinking outside the box, manages to make DeepMariner's power work on the wall - which spits her out in a hurry as the trembling intensifies.]

So you did come here with someone! ... It is fortunate you went off on your own, however.

For you.

[Again, she lunges, firing with RepliBambamboo. If she hits him, or if she hits the lasso, either works for her.

Minato frantically checks behind him, but there are no other Riders approaching this corridor.]

[Just as Spanner figured, wouldn't take long for her to know he wasn't alone.

His options are quite limited at the moment due to the restricted movement. So he opts to take the defensive approach for the time being, dodging whatever bullets come his way.

Some hit him, but he's able to dodge an amount where in the end he hasn't taken too much damage. But he needs to be careful, this tactic won't do him much good forever.]

[Minato's construct lasso breaks as a result of the onslaught, so he'll have mobility returned soon enough.

Hopefully he has a counter for the danger the floor represents...?

Atropos, meanwhile, has her own problems; whatever's got the building upheaving has sent cracks all the way to the roof now!]

Minato-kun; we are taking him with us.

[A few choice emotions flash across the man's face - but he ultimately runs forward to grab Spanner by the hand.]

[As he is broken free from the lasso, Spanner decides to place more trust in Minato after having seen the emotions that flashed across his face.

Those expressions, they were genuine.

That's what his gut tells him.

But what happened that's causing all these cracks? That's something Spanner will have to worry about later though.

He takes Minato's hand and runs off with him.]

[Once they're on the move? That barrier drops, allowing the Chemies to catch up with them.

And, naturally, they all gather around Spanner - until Atropos grabs one of the cards.]

This way, we will both have a hostage.

[She explains, looking pointedly at Minato. He does his best to remain stoic.

As they run, it becomes clear that something's triggered an actual earthquake - both a strong one, and an extremely local one.]

[Dammit, he'll have to retrieve that chemy later. At least the others are with them.

Spanner may see them as tools but he has the decency to care if they're taken! It's not beneficial for him and the others, and the chemies, if thats the case.

He continues to play hostage to keep Atropos from getting suspicious.

As they continue running, Spanner wonders just what's causing this earthquake. Is it a chemy? Geryon? Something else entirely?

Only time will tell.]

[There's yet more noise from the Chemies as they retreat - but they're not all going to blindly charge Atropos when there may be even more danger afoot.

As they get far enough from the building to see, there is a Malgam.

Renkingrobo, by the looks of it. And it's... quite large. Atropos sighs.]

Clotho. Pushing her limits again.

[Minato's not even remotely sure how to react to this one.]

[Spanner braces himself to prepare for whatever Clotho might do.

He has the gut feeling she might be unstable from how she's pushing her limits...

Meanwhile he remains stoic to not raise suspicions, continuing to go along with the situation he's currently in.]

[The sounds of fighting have a chance to filter in, now; apparently both Houtaro and Rinne have transformed to keep up.]

Minato. Leave Spanner with me.

[She detransforms, giving Minato the DreaDriver instead. It is perhaps obvious what Geryon has been warning his eldest about...]

I am more than capable of keeping our hostage subdued.

[Especially when there's no reason she can't transmute a Chemy with her own Malice.

Minato again has to keep his feelings internal - but he looks at Spanner nevertheless, before accepting the Driver.]

[He looks back, having a good guess what Minato's most likely feeling. They have known each other for so long by this point after all, it's not too hard to have an estimate.

But Spanner understands the situation he's in.

He just wonders how things will fare once Minato gets with the others, no doubt having to fight them.

Or at least feign fighting them for the sake of keeping a low profile.

In the meantime he will have to make do with this situation. Carefully observe everything to see if he can find a way to escape Atropos.]

[Atropos, despite how the fight has been going, wastes no time talking. Simply making Spanner keep pace with her with the knowledge she has an additional hostage.

The Chemy she's grabbed - Gutsshovel - protests, only for her to glare it down.

She hasn't tried to mind control a Chemy, independent of just using it for a Malgam form... but that doesn't mean she's not capable.]

[Since it was one of the cards used for a trusted combination, it would be trouble if Atropos decided to mind control Guttshovel or even make it into a Malgam. Thankfully, at least right now, she doesn't seem to have the desire to do such.

Spanner just keeps up the pace and follows where she goes. Stoic and silent.

Though he can't help but wonder just what the hell is going on at the other side of the base, presumably where that shaking came from earlier.

And also he ponders about what will become of Minato-senpai and the others once he gets to them...]
